Staying Alive on Mount EverestSafety and risk management at the Edge

The goal of any occupational safety program is to foster a safe work environment so that employees can undertake their work and make it home safely to their loved ones.

Engaging a safety speaker who's a highly competent high-altitude mountaineer and expedition leader who understands and respects the dangers of the environment in which they operate is a compelling way to convey the same concept.

This keynote presentation analyses the risk management framework employed whilst leading teams in the Himalayas and discusses the tools used to ensure team members make it home safely at the end of each expedition.

Your guest speaker will deliver messages that are perfect for safety conferences, expos and site safety meetings, where the goal is to present a positive safety message!

Attendees can expect to...

• understand the importance of safe working behaviour;
• remember the importance of keeping safety at the forefront of their mind; and
• recognise the benefits of working in a team to achieve greatness

Leadership at the EdgeLearn to lead outside of your comfort zone
